I was coming in here to post the same thing. It's the one aspect of combat that I just can't get right 100% of the time, and this AR challenge where you have to do 2 of them, kill the medic last, and don't take damage is taking me forever because the Fear Takedown prompt is so random.
I just went for a double takedown twice for that, since it counts as a fear takedown now.
But I agree, I think it's a pretty weak inclusion even if it looks cool. It also makes it damn easy to wreck in the predator maps when you can take on groups like this. I like the wrinkle Medics and the Detective Mode tracker adds to predator segments though, even if the disruptor is super powerful.
Are you kidding me. I was glancing at one of the billboards from across a rooftop
It had jokers face on it.
I'm like what? I go over to it and it's not there anymore. It turned back into regular ad! Something about fanus after shave get exposed. Before it said fear toxins get exposed. And it had his face there.
Yooooooooooooooooo those after affects. Fucking Rocksteady.
Yep, these ended up being all over the place, and they seemingly change into other things, the further into the story you go. As usual, Rocksteady loves loading these little easter eggs into the game.
I love how the guys in the Penguin vans casually open the doors. I mean, the guy will open the door while his head is still turned towards the front of the vehicle, then freak out when he finally looks and it's the Batman.

Can someone explain something obvious to me haha I just did a combat ar mission and it awarded me 14 orange fist symbols, I don't know if they are currency or upgrades or something?

Rival points are for the leaderboards, it only takes so much to three star something. Most people can do that. But if you want to continue to challenge your friends you are going to want to have more rival points then them. Say the three star score is 10000 in a challenge. Anything 1000 above that can score you 1 rival point. (just an example)
They aren't for XP or anything like that. Just for one upping people on the leaderboards....though if a lot of the review videos and streams are anything to go by....that won't be that hard since most people are shit at the combat.
Jason Todd has to be a red herring? They were pretty on the nose with the hints that he's the Arkham Knight. Please, no-one confirm whether I'm right or not but, I'd be interested to hear the opinions of other who are this far into the game.
Some of my upgrade are yellow, and I don't remember that. I knew red means I can't afford the points, but yellow? Were they always yellow and I'm just a numb skull tonight?
It appears yellow opens a tree.
Must have been exhausted before.

Fear takedown is actually one of my favorite adds to this game so far, but I haven't experienced any wonkiness to it. If I have the option of doing a take down, I have the option of a fear takedown as long as more than 1 guy are there. Have had no inconsistencies. Maybe it's the one thing the PC version has right?
I do have a question though... I did the first Riddler
riot bomb defuse sidquest
and now when I go find another one, there's no button or anything to stand on for the electricity... do I have to do them in a certain order, or something else weird? I looked at a video just because I thought I was missing it, and sure enough the place the video shows is just missing that trigger button for me. But the
remote batarang marks the bomb guy in red so I figured there must be something I'm missing
Edit:

Professor Pyg!! Wow whoever voices him is absolute gold. Probably the best sidequest so far, everything else seems kind of lame apart from this and Man Bat. Can't believe Pyg is in a videogame lol too good.

Question. For someone who's never played (and unlikely ever will) the previous Batman Arkham games is this something I can buy and get into or do I need previous knowledge..? Will it make a huge difference not knowing stuff going in? I loved Infamous Second Son and this looks like a fun bad ass game quite like that.
It looks stunning and as long as it's fun I think I'll get it, just wanting to check though... CHEERS GAF! Does the main campaign and side missions take quite a while to complete?
I played the first game a long, long time ago but not the second or third and honestly don't remember a thing from the first other than Joker was in it. I'm about 40% into Knight so far and am following just fine, there are obviously little nods to the past games when they talk in third person about people who are not around but its all pretty self explanatory so far.
I'd say go for it, its a fun game although it does get a bit repetitive and can be frustrating imo for people who aren't used to the "rocksteady / batman" way of controlling things. If you absolutely hated stuff like Assassins Creed or Far Cry you may not enjoy it, although the comic book aspect of everything is really fun and immersive.
Finally got through the tanks and the helicopter at the chemical plant after a short hiatus. Was a really good challenge without upgrading anything on on the Batmobile.
For all the people that dislike the batmobile, after getting most upgrades first the battles got pretty easy so maybe try that to make them less annoying.
Totally loving this game so far. Everything about it is awesome, sans the Batmobile, which I'm pretty indifferent to to be honest. Once you get used to driving it's not so bad; I just wished it wasn't forced on you so much.
The only thing that's annoying me is the fact that Riddler informants suddenly stopped spawning for me, so finding the trophies and breakables is going to be difficult. I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem, or if it's just me. Hopefully it gets fixed somehow ...
I need some help from someone who has finished the game.
I beat the game and I just locked up enough criminals for the knightfall protocol, but every time I try to activate it Batman just tells Alfred to prep the Batwing and that he's goong to the GCPD rendezvous point. No quest marker or waypoint shows up and nothing happens if I go to GCPD. Am I missing something or is this a glitch?

Why did they inexplicably not allow you to use detective mode while driving. Very annoying having to hop outta the car to check and see if there is something then get back in.
Think of it has more of a rythum. You don't need to hit the attack button a bunch of times on one enemy unless it is a beatdown. Take you time, press a direction towards an enemy and attack, you will get into a groove and start anticipating when the other enemies are starting their other attacks and counter. Practice in an AR room or just on mobs in the street. When you master that, you can move onto quick gadgets.
Not a high combo, but a simple freeflow with a lot of style...
